my Bebook has a problem. When I connect the USB cable to charge the battery, the red LED lighton, then the Bebook plays 5 very fast beeps, and shuts off, totally dead.
If I remove the battery, the Bebook boots normally.

It sems a battery problem, but even change the battery with another (not new) battery, the problem still remain.

I have the astak pocket pro (hanlin v5?) and mine is completely dead with four beeps, any idea what could solve it? astak wants me to send it back. Right now i connected it to power without the battery on and still won't boot. I've already tried all the normal stuff.

Try to search astak website for the manual. Else, they probably have a mail / phone contact. And they should be able to tell you what the beeps means.

4 beeps typically means that the battery has run down completely. Generally recharging the battery will restore operation. It is not recommended to run without a battery installed and it may not even work, I haven't tried it personally.

As I have told you before in other of the many forums you have posted this problem in that your battery seems to not take a charge or the charger or charging circuit is likely bad.

it would make sense except for the following two reasons:
1. Someone else reported the reader working without a battery connected
2. Even if the battery were dead it should still show in the screen that it is charging

you indeed seem to be stalking me and getting rather aggressive as time passes

Sorry if you think I am stalking. I was just getting frustrated that every thread seems to be another post of the same subject. Perhaps some others have reported but yours seems to dominate.

In a nutshell that is likely to be your problem. It might even be a loose cable/contact.
Li-Ion batteries have a safety cut-off at around 20-25% (zero % reported by device) if it goes below that it has a chance of exploding when being charged. So when a Li-Ion battery get's drained to much, charging it is (for consumers) impossible.

My advice, just RMA it (as suggested by Astak) and pick up a pbook for a few days
